The Polar Concept a new thing by Edwyn Butler

http://snd.sc/eetnz4

This is my new musical, venture, the album will build up in sound, starting minimal then buiding up to loud parts beautiful parts intricate parts, just amazing sounds.

I designed the artwork, from scavenging from an artist book by a brilliant singer called Antony Hegarty, of Antony and the Johnsons.


The Polar Concept is about opposites, an the polar bear is a juxtaposition in animal form(oh pretentious much) being cute and cuddly but can easily kill you, and my acting is rather like that.

One of many to show the joy of toy instruments.



I will be uploading many films and youtube clips, about the lives of pianos, for research, for my degree show project, will also be looking to artists who use performance, projection, and kinetic sculpture, and anything else that takes my fancy.
Explains on what I'm doing and why I'm doing it.
So expect a lot of work, tutors, if you ever look at this HA!

I have had a few weeks off working on music, and planning what I am going to produce for the Sand Bar Project, but I am back in the swing of things, I will blog every day what I have been up to.

I have just bought loads of musical equipment, to record better, and have got a band together, we're calling ourselves The Polar Concept. and I'm going to work on the artwork for that soon, will upload.

I am auditioning for a chior later, which will be performing in the BridgeWater Hall, its for my church concert, I was asked personally, feel quite privalaged.

Three weeks in solitude is good for a man, its shows you a sence of perspective and place, so being away from civilisation was good in some way, could focus, on a few things, like all my artwork for 5 years being soaked in a flood and having to rescue it, but doing that I could see how much my work has changed in that timne since GCSE, improved some what, I do like its angst and niaviety though.
